I don't think it would have been that helpful. There were platinum bars going all over the windows, even if they broke them nobody could have entered through there.

The glass panes appeared big enough to not obscure Meelo's body in any way... I'm not saying they send Meelo in alone but given the Avatar physics shown so far, an airbender can just "fly/shoot" in between and into the cockpit.

I guess someone invented shatter proof glass in the Avatar universe or something.

You can still put water through the gaps, freeze the inside of the window frames and rip the entire frame off the cockpit or even freeze the entire cockpit and just suffocate Kuvira and the helmsman. Or a metalbender can manipulate all the lovely metallic objects inside the cockpit from their vantage point outside the window.

Or they could have just let a hummingbird suit land on the top of the head (near the glass windows) to lure Kuvira into smashing the giant palm onto the cockpit which could dent the head or shatter the windows. Nvm scratch that. Kuvira did do a facepalm in an attempt to squash Meelo and the cockpit didn't dent. Dang it.

Does anyone besides me like this episode more than the 'The Last Stand'? I love action and it seems that everyone went all out throughout the episode, well besides Mako who seems to be forgotten... The actual finale was a little underwhelming to me and the only worthy bending scenes were Mako's dual lightning and stopping the spirit beam. I didn't expwct anyone to die and Hiroshi slapped me out of my seat.

There were still some things that could've been done better in this episode though...

-Have Mako remember that he can bend? He could've been blinding the Colossus with giant fire streams, come on man, offer some assistance.Why take a fighting stance if you're just gonna watch? I seriously got a burst of happiness seeing this part for the first time and then I died once he ran into a building to silently observe

-Stop letting Korra steal all of the spotlight! Everybender should've been bending equivalently but nooo, everyone else forgot they were better earth/airbenders:Lin was shown bending more than Korra but didn't utilize it this episode. Bolin literally held up a rooftop and sliced a building and it bugged me a little.Tenzin should've been shown doing this, reducing him to a tiny airstream with the rest of the random airbenders was wrong.

- The United Forces should've battled against the Earth Empire. The giant mech that could blow you to oblivion was no where in sight, just attack the remaining soldiers.

-More assistance. If the group of water and firebenders that Bolin helped returned to help or even the Fire Nation for that matter, that would've been nice. Zuko on his dragon helping the airbenders would be noice!

Overall I gave this episode a 9 and it's still my favorite of all in book 4. I loved seeing the airbenders tossing around the Colossus and the Badger Moles. This episode got more hype from me than the final episode.

What?Seriously, what? Korra has had the spotlight stolen from her by everyone since the first episode back in Book 1 and never got chance to shine. Even here in this finale she didn't do anything special.That emphasis on Bolin "doing it all" is terrible when it casually showed Su and Lin working together also. The budget was already bleeding and they decided to use what little remained on explosions and destroying the city that they were trying to save. They went the Man of Steel route here.
